How to remove the text about python-barcode

[QuickLearner171998]

Just write these lines before your code

    from barcode.base import Barcode
    Barcode.default_writer_options['write_text'] = False

Hello, I came across this issue by reading the documentation as well but eventually discovered by looking at the source that there is in fact an option called write_text=True in the base writer options.

You should update your documentation so people know it exists.

Keep up the good work

Ideally, this should be exposed as a flag that both the ImageWriter and SVGWriter expose.

Until I get a change to implement that, as a hack, you can use this writer:

class ImageWitoutTextWriter(ImageWriter):
    def _paint_text(self, xpos, ypos):
        pass

Hello! How do you run the command? For example:

• python-barcode create "123456789000" outfile -b ean
  will generate barcode without any text.

It looks like this is a duplicate of #24. @WhyNotHugo, would you accept a PR with the code given there?

Works for me! God Bless You, I really Thank you!
I look a lot for something like that, you solved it easily. I still don't understand how it works, but it solved my big problem :D

Pra quem procura algo em português, esse é meu código que gera a imagem sem o texto do código de barras:

from barcode.writer import ImageWriter

class ImageWitoutTextWriter(ImageWriter):
    def _paint_text(self, xpos, ypos):
        pass

ean = barcode.get('ean13', '123456789102', writer=ImageWitoutTextWriter())
filename = ean.save('ean13')
filename
'ean13.png'

from barcode.base import Barcode Barcode.default_writer_options['write_text'] = False
its works

Closing as dupe of #24. PRs welcome.
